Skin care products that repair the sebum film

The sebum layer is a protective film on the surface of the skin. It is a weakly acidic film formed by a mixture of oil secreted by the skin, keratin in the stratum corneum, dust in the air, etc. It has a strong protective effect on the skin, but because it is on the surface, it is easily damaged. Excessive facial cleansing and improper use of some bad skin care products can cause damage to the sebum film. So is there anything that can repair the sebum layer? Let me give you a detailed introduction below.

Physiological structure

The surface of the stratum corneum of the skin is formed by a layer of membrane called the sebum membrane, which is formed by the sebum secreted by the sebaceous glands of the skin, the lipids produced by the keratinocytes, the sweat secreted from the sweat glands, and the dust, bacteria, germs, etc. in the air. The pH value of the sebum film should be maintained at a slightly acidic state of 4.5-6.5 to keep the skin healthy.
